Does the String Butler work? That is a question many ask when dealing with Gibson Les Paul tuning problems. Especially if it is caused by Bigsby tuning issues. That is a very common problem. Often because the Bigsby setup is wrong. Or simply the guitar itself is in need of a setup. I made a number of modifications to the Les Pauk Studio including installing a Bigsby with a Vibramate Kit. But Gibson Les Paul tuning stability is a real issue for many with our without a Bigsby, How can you solve Gibson tuning issues? Well, the String Butler is designed for guitars with 3 and 3 tuner configurations with issues caused by severe break angles from the nut to the tuners. And with Gibson Headstock angles, the problems are often compounded. In this video I try to address my guitar tuning problems. I show you how to install a string butler and I discuss the other things I did to try and get My Gibson Les Paul with Bigsby into game shape. I added a Tusq Nut, a Schaller roller bridge and had the guitar fully setup. And then I installed the String Butler. Did it work? Or am I tossing this guitar into the trash?
